and it flashed upon me that Charlie

passing nee and leilith in Northumber-
land Avenue a fortnight ago. It was far
better. as I instantly decided, to talk the
' subject out, as Madge had evidently
formed an altogether wrong idea of the
of teraeter of Lilith.
"I want to speak to you about this

and listen to me?"
"With pleasure, if you really wish it,
But, pardon me for asking the question,
do you think it is wise?"
"Do I think what is wise?"
We stood close together. facing each
other. Both, I know, were pale, both
excited. and beneath, our apparently col-
lected manner lay an undercurrent of
tierce excitement.
"I mean," she said, looking straight
into my eyes, "if I ask you no questions
about this little dancing model person.
if I merely request you to destroy her
photographs and to promise me never to
bald any communication with her again,
and if on my side I promise never to re-
fer to her, will not that be the best and
wisest end to the business?"
"No!" I exclaimed energetically. "It
win not! You have to hear the whole
truth about Lilith Saxon, and I am sorry
tbat you should so far misunderstand
axe as to suppose -that it is truth of
which I reason to be ashamed."
"I suppose nothing," she began. and
then suddenly, to my great astonish-
ment, she broke down.
Passionate tears streamed down her
face, and for a few seconds her frame
was shaken with sobs. But as, in be-
wilderment and. distress, I advanced
with the idea of consoling her, she wav-
ed me impatiently. away:
"I ani only overtired with the jour-
ney." she said; she whose flawless health
and energy were proverbial. "I—don't
look at me while I am crying in this
stupid way! It makes me look hide-
ous. "
I' retreated to the far end of the room,
and pretended to be ocoupied with my
brushes and colors, Gradually Madge's
quick sobe ceased, and, taking a bottle
of eau de Cologne I fetched her from my
dressing -room, she threw some of the

"Stop!" I cried. "I won't listen to an-

and pure as you are!"

you be so deceived'? Listen, dear; if
you will . only break with her now. I
will never reproach you; I will never
even mention her name. But 1 warn
you you must choose between her and
me."
"Madge," I said, turning upon her
with sudden sternness, "we are be-
trothed, and in six months you will be
my wife. But I feel no love for you
either before or after marriage unless
you retract the accusations you °have
made against me and Lilith."
She fell back a step, . staring at me
with dilated eyes.
"You love her so much!" she 'whisper-
ed hoarsely_ "If I set you free—what
would you do?"
I should marry Lilith."
There was a long pause. Then she
drew a quiek breath that sounded like a
sob.
"Sou are free, Adrian•" she said; and
passed out of my presence without an-
other word.
CHAPTER 'XVIII.
At the risk of appearing a heartless
brute, I will admit exactly what 1 did
after the door had closed upon Madge;'
and I knew myself to be a free man.
I was sorry, genuinely sorry that I
had quarreled with her. I was extreme-
ly fond of her, I had never met nor
have I encountered since, a cleverer or
more charming woman, or a more amus-
ing and., when she chose, sympathetic
companion. Few men admired her more
en on her an ere e , an p fascinating. and had an absolute;genies

ter a prolonged powdering of her face ons, brave, and unselfish, loyal in her
and arranging her hair before an an=
:hon I. Site was both beautifut1 and
tigtie mirror which hung on the wall,
she went back to the armchair.
"You can go on with your story now:"
she said, "if you really want to tell it
Tixbugh I warn you it is a mistake."
She did not look hideous at all after
her tears. She was unusually pale and
a little overpowdered, but I had never
seen her look gentler or more attractive.
"11 isn't a long story," I said, "but it
is mast necessary that you should know
it' Last summer I went away for a
few days to a place that fellow Collars
told me about. I•meant to stay for a
week -end only, but I did not return un-
til the following Wednesday. Do you
remember?"
I remember very well indeed!"
"At this place, Lythinge, in Kent, near
Sandhythe, I put up at an inn, the 'Rose
and Crown,' the only one in the village.
The first night I was there there came
to the inn a, child called Lilith Saxon."
"A child?"
• "She was not quite sixteen, and look-
ed-rnueh younger. She was half-starved
and ill-used. The landlady, Mrs. Kokes,
knew all about her history. and can con-,
firm what I say. Horatio Saxon, the fa-
ther, was a lazy, drunken brute, who
hie once been an unsuccessful actor. He
Tied married a lady, the daughter of a
eity curate, the Reverend James. Prit-
chard."
I paused, and glanced at Madge. The
softened expression had left her feat-
ures, and her mouth looked hard and set.
I found the child practising dancing
in an empty room. Her mother had
worked herself to death in this 'man
Saxon's sere ice, and her .little sister
Bessie, had died of cold caught from.
singing at night in the streets. This
lovely child was being dragged by this
old reprobate about the marsh villages,
and made to dance in taverns to earn
coppers to keep him in beer, and tobac-
co, and laziness. The child's story touch-
ed tae. I got her some food, and when.
after I supposed she had gone to bed, I
strolled out to smoke and think in the
moonlight by the churchyard that over-
hung the marshes, Lilith crept after me
to tell me that her father had not re-
turned. As I was leading her home, we
met hien. He was drunk, and tried to
strike her. I intervened, and he turned
his rage on to me. He struck at 'me, and,
missing me. fell on a heap of stone In
the road, The fall killed him."
Madge was watching me closely un-
der frowning brows. She did not ap-
pear in the least touched, but she never
once moved her eyes. from my face as I
continued speaking:

stay at Lythinge for the inquest and

in finding his tomb. Then I visited her
father's cousin, a certain John Saxon, a
socialist e"oenlalser of Rye. But he
would not agree tO take her, and finally

There Lilith has' remained ever since,
nor have 1 seen her for more than a
year until I came across her most unex-

afternoon about a fortnight ago. She
will be eighteen next near, and Will then
be leaving Bristol. 'More than once I
"have thought about consulting you as
to :bet' future.
I was silent. Madge's mouth grew
more scornful.
"ft was almost a pity that you have
never mentioned her before,' ' she ob-
served. "The relations In which you
stand toward her, as a guardian of
twenty-eight toward a ward of seven-

She 'riarted tip, her dark .oyes ablaze
With anger:
friendship, and exceedingly kind-heart-
ed. although it was very difficult to de-
ceive her by any tale of distress not
wholly .genuine.
And yet my feeling when she thus
broke an engagement which had grown
up with us for at least ten years was
wholly one of gladness and relief.
Madge, as I knew well, would speedily
be able to console herself among the
well-filled ranks of her admirers. Five
years ago, when I had suggested, by
my uncle's wish, that she. should marry
nee, she had been altogether opposed to
the idea. She had often expressed her
distaste for the notion of being "tied up
for life," and for several years past she
had never missed an opportunity of try-
ing to make me jealous of her string of
suitors, each of whom was a much bet-
ter match for her from a worldly point
of view than I.
And now we were free. Madge could
carry her wealth and her wit to the
needy family of her grand duke; and I—
well, I could, as I did, seize . a time-
table and turn over the pages in Pro-
digious hurry to find the next train for
Bristol
It was eleven o'clock, and there 'was
a train in half an hour, which would
suit me perfectly. My hand was en. the
bell -rope to summon Wrenshaw to 'pack
my bag, for I proposed to stay the
night in Bristol, when T remembered
my ill -luck on the occasion of my last
visit, and Mrs. MorIand's earnest request
that I would let her know in advance
whenever I purposed calling at Morland
House. -
Clearly, it was not a too well -kept es-
tablishment, in spite of Mrs. Morland's
admirable manners, and since Lilith was
in the habit of visiting other pupils at
their homes. it might be as well to
make sure that she was at Clifton before
undertaking the journey.
Much as I chafed at the delay, I could
not bear the thought of .missing her; so,
as I did not wish Wrenshaw to be too
conversant with niy affairs, especially
now, when I strongly suspectedthat he'
had been telling tales about Lill lb 'to
Madge I`"hnrried off to the nearest tele-
graph office, and despatched the follow-
ing message reply paid, to Mrs. Stan-
hope Morland:
"From Adrian I•Iervey, Rooin 6, The
Studios, Riverrnead Street, Chelsea: Am
corning clown to see you and Lilith this
afternoon. Please reply immediately."
Back to my rooms I went, and fidget-
ed about impatiently until Mrs. Mor
land's answer should speed me on my
journey. And in little more than an
hour it came. I hurried to the door
when •I heard the telegraph boy's --knock,
and tore open the fateful brown envel-
ope.

T was more than vexed, as I will own
at once; I was downright angry, What

about visiting. promtseuously her school-
fellows' homes at Ilfracombe or at
